So, you’re in the midst of one of the toughest jobs in the world – Planning the perfect wedding!
Your budget is set and roughly allocated. With a decent amount kept aside for a good wedding videographer, we’re going to make this particular task a bit easier for you…
Here are a few handy tips to know what to look from the entire list of wedding videographers in Melbourne:
1) Ensure the bride and videographer gel well
Whether it’s for instructions prior to the wedding day or on-day coordination, you need a videographer that gets you! (or the bride, whichever the case may be) He or she should be able to capture every aspect of THE Day exactly as you want it to be. Even better is a videographer who offers outstanding suggestions to make it all look even better!
Since wedding days are tense occasions, especially for the bride, find a team the bride likes and gets along with. Similar interests, sense of humour, tastes in music…. anything works.
2) Find a videographer who loves weddings
Sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it? But you’d be surprised!
A lot of wedding videographers consider their jobs to be… well, jobs. YOUR JOB is to find one who is passionate about making wedding videos! That’ll come across beautifully in all the videos he or she makes and will make your special day, the ultimate. Nothing less than the best.
3) Check out past video portfolios
No matter how well you feel a videographer is getting you, make sure to ask for past work. This will give you insight into the unique style and treatment he or she uses. You may also draw inspiration from other wedding movies from their collection.
Ensure they make wedding movies and not shoot mere wedding videos. They should ideate, shoot, edit, and produce top-notch wedding videos that you will be proud of.
Also, experience is A good thing… The more years, the better. This means they have not only mastered their creative jobs but have handled all kinds of brides (and grooms) and are pretty seasoned in that regard.
4) Opt for team over one videographer
You know how good the videographer is and how creative they plan to be by the number of people they are planning to send on the shoot days. Select a videography company that sends you at least 2 people, on the day, including the cameraman.
Special effects via props, screens, lighting require staff to carry, position, and pack.
You will have enough tasks to overlook. There’ll be no one to spare to help the solo videographer. Remember this!
5) Don’t compromise with value deals
Weddings are expensive and the costs just keep building… We understand!
But you’ve allocated a fair and competitive budget for your wedding videographer. Later you happen to find a cheaper option. Before you finalise on it, think twice.
Most good videographers will not drop their prices to land a gig. Making a stunning wedding video in a wedding suit takes talent, effort, planning, patience, and time. You need to understand this when hiring videographers in Melbourne.
So, budget well, choose better, and have the time of your life!
Let the cameras capture this while your videographer creates the right magic.
